Re: Pinewood Derby Grant Rebel SST (The real car)

["Gary Walker" <NashFlash@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,
    To answer your questions, read what I already sent you.   Other than
that, look in the many publications which are readily available and look on
the net for the photos which were taken in the later days of the car's
campaign and you will see the simple spoiler as I described.  There has
always been something about the car on this list and in the news letters
from time to time.  If you get the list as a digest you miss a lot.  Join
NAMDRA if you haven't.
       Your AMC Friend,
        Gary Walker
